Amen, God. Bless you youth squad, as this
Gentry, I want us to prepare our mind and our hearts as we see
from the Lord. And the vessel that today, this
morning, the Lord has prepared is no other person that our own
elder Ada connects about Nancy. Praise the Lord, Hallelujah.
I just want you to stay. Just be on your feet.
Be on your feet.
Bare your feet. Begin to speak to the Holy
Spirit. Begin to speak to the Holy
Spirit. Begin.
To speak to the Holy. Spirit.
None. Father, we thank you for your
presence in our means this morning.
We cannot thank you enough. You are so gracious, so
merciful. We thank you for this
opportunity and we pray the Lord God you will deliver to the
glory of your name. Amen.
This morning we thank God for the opportunity given us.
I also want to thank the District pastor, the Presbytery,
or the executive of the district, my presiding order for
this golden opportunity. I really appreciate it.
God bless you this morning. I want us to prepare our hearts
and work with God this morning. Turn your left, your right, and
tell your brother or your sister.
Prepare your hearts to work with God this morning.
All right. So this morning it is a
privilege that God want to use me to pass through his message
to you. And the message that God has
given to me this morning to share with you is that the
identity of the only child of God, In other words, the
identity of a Christian or a believer, I take it again, the
identity of the unleashed child of God or the identity of a
Christian or a believer. Hallelujah this morning.
This is a gospel sending. And when you talk about gospel
sending, it's about Jesus Christ, it's about the good
gospel, it's about the news, it's about Jesus Christ, it's
about the sacrifice that he has done for us.
It's about the mission of Jesus Christ on this earth.
But this morning I want us to to in our mind to something that is
very, very important. So I want you to understand your
identity as a Christian this morning.
If I may ask you, what is your identity?
What is your identity? I don't want to define identity
from any this scenario or whatever.
That is not the mission I want us to know this morning.
But when I what I want us to know is the Christian context of
identity. So in my definition I said
identity is who you are in relationship to God.
An identity of a believer is who you are in relationship to God.
It is not about your job, it is not about your social status, it
is not about your past mistakes, and it is not about your
personal achievement, Hallelujah.
But it is about your relationship with God.
Amen. So this morning I just want you
to pay very much attention to what God wants to tell you this
morning, that you have an identity.
Once you accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior,
an identity has been given unto you.
And that identity is what I want you to know this morning.
So please kindly work with me. So if I say an identity, the
Bible teaches that knowing your true identity, knowing your true
identity begins with the understanding that God created
you on purpose. Hallelujah.
Knowing your identity, your true identity, begins with
understanding that God created you on purpose and true faith in
Christ. You are made new and then you
are called to serve Him alone. Hallelujah.
I take it again, the Bible is saying that when you get to know
your true identity, your true identity, that begins with the
understanding that God created you on purpose and true faith in
Jesus, you are made, knew and called to live for him.
So what is your true identity or what is your, what is Christian
identity? The number one identity you need
to know is that you have been created by God.
Hallelujah, you and I, we are created by God.
In fact, every human being is made or is created in the image
of God. So therefore, as you are a human
being, you are also created. You are part of that creation
and that one is natural. It's for everyone.
We are created in the image of God.
This means that we have an inherent dignity and value.
Amen. We have inherent dignity, value,
and wealth not because of what we do, but because of who made
us. Hallelujah.
So you and I have been created in the image of God.
No matter your color, no matter the trap you are coming from, no
matter your white color, your black color, your red color,
whatever color you are, God created every mankind in his own
image and we are all one. Hallelujah.
So we have been created to reflect God nature in unique
ways. Our ability to think, love,
create and choose right and wrong and be in relationships.
Hallelujah. So God created us with a purpose
we have to think like God, the ability to think and to love,
and then to choose right and wrong.
Amen. So when we are able to exhibit
all this, it means God's creation is really portraying
who He is. Hallelujah.
So the application is that you are not an accident.
You matter deeply to God. You have worked because you bear
His image. So you sitting there, you have
been created in a very special way.
You are not just an ordinary person, but you bear the image
of God. Hallelujah.
So number one, we are created in the image of God.
That is #1 identity. Another point I want you to know
is that once you accepted Christ as your personal Lord and
Savior, you have received a new creation.
You have been given a new creation, Hallelujah.
So all mankind has been created in the image of God, but it is
not everyone that received this new creation.
This new creation is in Jesus Christ.
So when you receive Christ as your personal Lord and Savior,
you became a savior. You became a new creation.
So let's read a book of the book of Second Corinthians, chapter
5, verse 17. Therefore, if anyone is in
Christ, the new life or the new creation has come, the old has
gone, the new is here. So when you put your when you
put your faith in Christ or Jesus, you are spiritually
reborn. Hallelujah.
When you put your faith or when you accept Jesus Christ as your
personal Lord and Savior, you are spiritually reborn.
You are not in your own or your own nature.
We've agreed that we are all created in the image of God.
But those who believe, all those who accepted Jesus Christ has
been given a new life. You and I, we have been given a
new life and a new identity. The identity that we receive is
a new creation that tells you that you have a what you call
you when you are set price, you have a new life.
Hallelujah. So your own identity defined by
sin, shame, brokenness or whatever, OK, your own identity,
what you used to be, who you used to be, the normal nature
you used to be, that identity is now being replaced in Christ.
Your own nature has been replaced in Christ.
So this means you have a new purpose, a new direction in
life. So when you receive this new
creation or this new life, your life changes.
You're no more the old person they used to know.
You're no more the person that everybody know to be a howlot on
the street. You're no, you're no more the
person that people can point fingers and say that this person
is just something. This person don't fit society.
So when you accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and
Savior, you have a new heart, a new purpose and a new direction
in life. So what you have to do is you
must put your past things or your past things does not define
you in Christ. You are a brand new.
I want you to know that you are a brand new.
God has made you a brand new. That is your identity.
Hallelujah. So you have an identity through
Jesus Christ our Savior. So when you accept Christ as
your personal Lord and Savior, the old is gone and the new is
here. And you and I this morning, we
are, we are what we are new creation.
The old life is gone. We have a new life in Christ.
So another point I want you to know, or another feature of a
Christian identity is that you become a child of God.
That is another identity of a Christian or a believer.
You become a child of God, Hallelujah.
Let's read the book of John, chapter one, verse 13, verse
chapter one, verse 12. He says that yet to all who did
receive him, yet to all who did receive him, to those who
believes in his name, he gains, he gains the right to become
children of God. Hallelujah.
So true faith in Jesus Christ. Believers are adapted into the
family of God. So that is an identity that you
have. Amen.
I can't hear you. I thought you say it better than
that because you've been a child of God.
You've been a child of God. It's a privilege.
You know, Let's let me tell you something.
What you have today, there are so many.
People who are just wishing to be like you or to have the kind
of freedom to have the kind of life that you have, but they
cannot, they cannot feed themselves.
And it is very difficult for them to even have Christ because
of how Satan actually catch them.
But you and I, we must be thankful to God that an
opportunity has been given to us to become children of God.
So when you read Romans chapter 8 verse 15 to 17, you can write
it down when you get to Romans chapter 8 verse 15 to 17, and
then Galatians chapter 4 verse 7.
So we are not just followers or servants, we are sons and
daughters of the living God. Hallelujah, once you accept
Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you are not just
follower or a servant, but sons and daughters of our living
Jesus Christ, Amen. So you are not alone.
You belong to the family of God. He is your Father and you are
his Son, Amen. Is it not a privilege?
The Creator of everything calling you his son or his
daughter is a privilege. And you can only get this when
you accept Jesus Christ. It is Jesus Christ that will
give you this identity, Hallelujah.
It is only Jesus Christ that you can accord this identity, that
you can what you you become a child of God, Amen.
So number one, I said that identity as a believer, you have
been created in the image of God and then you have been given a
new life and then you became or you, you, you are now a child of
God. Hallelujah.
And the next one is that you are the temple of the Holy Spirit.
You are the temple of the Holy Spirit.
Please stand and tell your neighbor you are the temple of
the Holy Spirit. You are the temple of the Holy
Spirit. When we read the book of First
Corinthians chapter 6 verse 19 to 26, that do you not know that
your bodies are the temples of the Holy Spirit Who is in you?
Can you please project our side? Do you not know that your bodies
are temples of the Holy Spirit who is you, whom you have
received from God? You are not your own Hallelujah.
So when you become or when you you, you accept Jesus Christ.
The new identity that has been given to you has given you the
opportunity to pair or to accommodate the Holy Spirit.
The Bible says that when you accept Christ as your personal
Lord and Savior, the Holy Spirit comes to stay in you and
therefore you must make room for the Holy Spirit to dwell in you.
Hallelujah, your body and life now belongs to God and and that
is a sacred place for God to live.
So you must live a holy life. You must live a holy life, a
life that will make the Holy Spirit comfortable.
You know, the Bible said that without the Holy Spirit,
believers are nothing. Without the Holy Spirit, we are
nothing. We cannot fulfill the promise of
God unless the Holy Spirit is in US.
Unless we are able to to realize the importance of the Holy
Spirit, we are nothing. So therefore, when we accept
Christ as our Lord and personal Savior, the Holy Spirit comes to
stay in US, He dwells in US. And then it is the Holy Spirit
that will help us to grow. It is the Holy Spirit that will
help us to resist sin, Hallelujah.
And it is the Holy Spirit that will help us to reflect our Lord
Jesus Christ. So this morning I want you to
look at yourself. Look at your Christian life.
Is the Holy Spirit to you? Do you have the Holy Spirit to
you? I want to believe that as a
believer today, you have the Holy Spirit within yourself.
And I want you to know that the Holy Spirit will help you to
grow. It is the Holy Spirit that will
help you to resist sin, and it is the Holy Spirit that will
help you to always reflect the goodness, the goodness of Jesus
Christ. Hallelujah.
So that is another identity of a believer.
When you are a believer, that identity has been given to you,
Hallelujah. So I want you to know that when
the Holy Spirit is in you, you are not powerless.
God lives in you. Therefore, what do you feel when
the Holy Spirit is in you? When God himself is dwelling
within yourself, within you, What can go against you?
It means you are not just a mere Christian.
You are not just a mere follower, You have all the
powers because the Holy Spirit have all the God has given us.
See, when the Holy Spirit comes, we could do everything possible.
What's our minds or these are things that we cannot do.
When the Holy Spirit comes, it becomes possible.
So this morning I want you to give yourself, open yourself up
so that the Holy Spirit will dwell in you.
Amen. So another point I want us to
know is that 01 of the identities of a believer or a
Christian is that we are ambassadors of Jesus Christ.
Please turn and tell your neighbor, I am an ambassador of
Jesus Christ. I am an ambassador of Jesus
Christ. Let's read the book of
Corinthians, Second Corinthians chapter 5, verse 20.
Please project it for me. We are therefore Christ's
ambassadors as though please count your prejudice.
We are therefore Christ's ambassadors as though God were
making his appeal to us. We employ you on Christ's
behalf. Be reconciled to God.
Hallelujah. So when you become or when you,
when you accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and personal Savior,
you become this ambassador. And we all know the works of an
ambassador. So a simple means that we
represent Christ on this world. We are the representatives of
Christ on this world. And what must we do?
What was the identity of Christ? What was the identity of Christ?
Love, faithfulness, honest gentleness.
So you and I, as an ambassadors of Christ, we must possess all
this because we are the representatives.
Jesus is no more here. We, you and I, we are the
representatives of him. And therefore whatever Jesus
Christ was possessed or what Jesus Christ is meant to be, we
are supposed to be like that. Amen.
So I want you to know that you accepting Jesus Christ did not
end there, but you need to, you need to defend Jesus.
You see, you are just like an ambassador, OK?
You know, ambassador speaks on behalf of their countries and
they defend no matter what. They defend their countries
because that is the reason why they put them there, OK.
When you see an ambassador, he represents that particular
country. So you and I, we are the
representatives of Christ on this earth.
We are called to share God's love, truth, and forgiveness
with others. OK, so your life has a purpose.
Your life have a purpose. You must live a different life.
Don't follow the don't. Don't just follow everything
that you see. You are a different person.
You have an identity. Hello.
I said what? You have an identity.
You are not just an ordinary person.
So your life must be different from any other person.
You should not join those who want to bring down people, those
who don't really want to do good, OK?
When you are such a person, you are not an ambassador of Christ.
So I want you to know this morning that the identity that
you have as a believer, you must protect it.
You must make sure you live by it, live through that that true
live through that identity. Make sure that identity is being
reflected in your life. Don't live a hypocritical life.
One thing about me is that me, I
speak my mind. I don't know how to be a
hypocrite. When I see the thing I talk at
the end of the day, I've set my mind.
I cannot say what is right and turn and turn back and say oh
this is wrong, or try to. You must.
Your one must be one. Your two must be two.
Your everything must represent Christ.
Hallelujah. So as believers, as an
ambassadors of Christ, our truth identity is to represent Christ
everywhere we find ourselves. Hallelujah.
And another identity of a believer is that when you accept
Christ, this is what I love so much, you become a citizen of
heaven. Hallelujah.
Please stand and tell. Just tell your neighbor, I am a
citizen of heaven. I am a citizen of heaven.
I am not just an ordinary person.
So just imagine, you see heaven, we all know heaven.
So if you call yourself all, if an identity has been given to
you to be part of heaven, what a privilege, what a privilege.
My brothers and sisters, you, you don't need to lose this
identity. You don't need to lose this
identity. Amen.
So let's read the book of Philippians, chapter 3, verse
20. He says that but your citizen is
in heaven and we are eagerly awaiting or awaits a Saviour
from there, the Lord Jesus Christ.
So you and I, this is not where we belong.
Hello, this is not where we belongs.
This earth do not belongs to us. We are just passing by.
Amen. We are just passing by our truth
or our dwelling place is heaven. Even though we live on earth,
our true home is in heaven. You see this earthly things that
we are seeing. Everything is temporal.
Everything you are seeing is temporal.
You don't need to be worried about whatever that is just
going around you. You have the power, the identity
is being given to you to be part of the heaven citizen.
So you don't need to be worried why you don't have money today.
That is not the end. You see the Bible is saying that
struggle or suffering is part of our what our expect of our our
worship. So when you are a believer and
you are going through challenges, it doesn't mean God
is not with you. Don't forget you are a citizen
of heaven. So whatever you do, your values,
priorities and everything you do, everything must align with
heaven, not just this world. Hallelujah, Because this world I
will live is full of troubles. We don't have any future here.
We do not have any future here. Our future is in heaven with
God, Hallelujah. So whether you have money or you
don't have money, whether people love you or they don't love you,
Amen. You are a citizen of heaven and
therefore you must always have this joy and you must always
have this joy. So you have an identity, You
have an identity, Hallelujah. So another point I want you, I
want us to know is that 01 of the futures of a believer is
that we are victorious. Tell your neighbor I am a
Victoria. I'm a, I'm a I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm
victorious. I have victory over everything.
Please, I can't hear you. Tell your neighbor I have
victory over everything. So you are victorious in Christ.
We are victorious in Christ. So let's look at the book of
Romans chapter 8, verse 37, Romans chapter 8, verse 37, it
says that no, in all these things we are more than
conquerors through him who loves us.
Hallelujah. So as I said earlier on, when
you are going through the challenges, the difficulties,
the trauma of this world, don't make disturb in Christ, we are
victorious. There is another award waiting
for you, Hallelujah. We can never be failures.
It is only when you do not recognize your truth identity.
And I am telling you that these are the truth identity of you
sitting here. You are not just an ordinary
person, Hallelujah. So you are victorious in Christ.
So through Jesus Christ, believers are not defeated by
sin, fear, or spiritual darkness.
They are victorious because Jesus has already conquered
death and evil. Hallelujah.
So this victory give us or this victory give, we believe us the
strength, the strength, the peace and the confidence even in
struggles. As I said, this victory of our
Lord Jesus Christ give us a strength, the peace even in our
troubles. So you don't need to be bothered
about anything. You are victorious.
Heaven is waiting for you. Amen.
So you are not a victim of life in Christ.
You walk even when challenges comes.
So take note, even in Christ there are challenges.
So when you are walking through the challenges, know that Christ
has already paid all Christ has conquer everything for you.
Amen. So this identity is not
Hallelujah. This identity is not end by
being too good enough. The identities of you sitting
here as a believer, it's not been end, but the good things
you are doing no, it is received by grace, true faith, Amen.
These identities that has been given to you, it's not because
of your good things or whatever your wealth or by it is.
It is true grace, our Lord Jesus Christ, that you have these
privileges. Amen.
So living in this identity means that living in your identity as
a Christian, it's not just knowing who you are in theory.
Hello. It is not just knowing who you
are in theory, but you are working in it.
You walk, you walk it out in your daily life.
It is an ongoing genre of transformation shaped by the
truth of God's Word and empowered by the Holy Spirit.
Amen. Amen.
So I said that an identity of a believer as you and I are seated
here. One is that we have been created
in the image of God and through Jesus Christ we've been given a
new life, Hallelujah, and and after the new life we've been
made children of God. And then after becoming children
of God, we are the temples of the Holy Spirit.
And then after that we become the bearers of Christ, which is
we are an ambassadors of Christ. And then we are victorious.
We are citizens of heaven. So my question is that how can
we protect these identities as a believer?
Now I have I've walked you through your real identity.
Now I want you to ask yourself, how can how can you walk through
these identities? Hello, that is your truth
identity. I want you to know that this
identity you must work through, how can you protect it?
If you are given this opportunity, how can you protect
it? So we are looking at ways to
live in your Christian identity. So number one, I'm saying that
renewing your mind with God, Amen.
In order for you to walk through this this identity or to work in
this identity, you must renew your mind.
So the book of Romans chapter 12 verse 2 says that do not confirm
or conform to the patterns of this world, but be transformed
by the renewing of your mind. Hallelujah.
So in order for you to be to walk through this identity, I
have all the privileges in it. You must renew your mind.
This The world's constantly try to shape our identity based on
appearance, success, popularity and past failures.
It is true. It is true.
That is how the world define us. It's about who has money.
It's about who is beautiful. It's about who was having money
by now he doesn't have money. It's about a decision that you
were you took and you fail. That is how the world.
But this morning I want you to know that when you have a renew
man of God, God truth must become the lens through which we
view ourselves and others. So these things, you must not
see them to be problems, OK? Don't see this to be a problems
or to be a problem. You must.
God's truth must become the lens.
Listen, God, truth must become the lens through which we view
ourselves and others. Amen.
So this happened by reading, studying and meditating on the
scripture allowing its hello. There is something here that
when I was just preparing myself, I, I got to this place
of asulai is so enticing. It says that allowing it to
rewire. Hello, allowing you to rewire
how you think and what you believe.
So I want you to allow the Holy Spirit, when you renew your
minds, allow the Holy Spirit to rewire, rewire.
It means there was disconnection somewhere.
So when you allow the Holy Spirit, you will rewire you to
think and to think about what is going around this world and you
make good decisions. Hallelujah.
So another point is that you need to work in obedience.
You must work in obedience in other to protect the identity
that God has given to you. So when we read the book of John
chapter 14, verse 15 says that if you love me, keep my
commandments. Your identity in Christ cause
you to live differently, not to end God's love.
Listen to not to end God's love, but as a response to it.
So you must do what you're supposed to do.
You must obey the instructions that God is given to us.
This means that our daily decision, this means making
daily decisions that reflects your new nature in Christ.
So whatever decisions that you are making, you must make sure
that it reflects Christ in your life.
Amen. So obedience is a sign of trust.
When you follow God ways you align with who he created you to
be. OK, so we are saying that if you
are going to work, if you, if you want to protect the identity
that has been given to you, you must walk in obedience.
And the Bible is saying that obedience is a sign of trust.
When you follow God's ways, you aligned with who he created you
to be. So when you accept Jesus Christ,
you are no more yourself. You must walk in the ways of
God. Your life must be different.
People must see you and tell so many positive things about you,
but not negative. Hallelujah.
So another one time is good, but let me just finish.
You must live together or you must live in a community.
Hallelujah, you must live in a community.
I remember one of the sermons of chairman, he says that there are
people even believers who those who believe that they believe
they are Christians, but they they, they, they, they, they,
they will just wake up and make up their minds that after if I
don't go to heaven, if I don't come to church, it doesn't mean
God is not with me. But the sense Bible is saying
that living in community will help you walk through the
identity that God has been given to you.
So let's read the book of first Corinthians chapter 12 verse 27.
Now you are the body of Christ and each one of you is a part of
it. Hallelujah.
So many of us here, things that coming to church, even it's like
a force, it's like someone is forced.
If you don't come to church, somebody will say that you
didn't come to church. No, I want you to understand
that that mentality is wrong. The identity that has been given
to you, if you are going to protect that identity, you need
to be present in the House of God.
Your presence in the House of God is very, very important.
Christians are not, you know, we are not just solo journey or we
are not a solo journey. Our identity includes being part
of God's family and the God's family we are talking about is
the church. The God's family we are talking
about is the church. When you don't come to church,
it means you're not part of God's family.
So your identity includes being part of God's family.
So the church community helps you stay accountable and use
your God giving talent. When you don't come to church,
you know each and everyone is giving talents and gifts.
So when you don't come to church, how are you going to
utilize those gifts? I know some of you can sing,
some of you can even preach the gospel.
You can teach. You can when you mount a
platform. In fact, we all stand to salute
your message, but you did not give yourself the opportunity to
do that. Hallelujah.
So this morning I want you to know that coming to church to
learn the Word of God, to be in unity is part of ways to protect
your identity. So you must always be part of
the church Hallelujah. When there is an activities in
the church, make sure you involve, make sure you
participate fully in everything that we do in this church and
therefore you will protect or you'll be able to walk to your
identity that God has given to you.
There are so many things that we can talk about, but let me put
in this you must serve God with purpose.
You have to serve God with purpose.
You don't just come to church like that.
You must serve God with a purpose.
So your identity in Christ, your identity in Christ includes
calling. You were created for purpose to
serve God and others. So this does not always means a
grand mission. It it can be as simple as loving
your neighbor, encouraging friend, and using your skills
for God's works. So when you have any talent,
whatever you have that you think can help someone, please make
sure you put it into use because that is a gift God has given to
you. So when you are able to serve
God with your talents, you are protecting or you are walking
through your identity. Hallelujah.
So and then another thing is resisting false identities and
lies. I am, I am giving you the things
that will help you to walk through your identities.
So you must resist false identities and lies.
So the thief comes. When we read the book of John
chapter 10 verse 10, it says that the tea comes only to steal
and kill and destroy. I have come that they may have
life. The enemy tries to rob you of
your identity by planting lice, which is true.
You are not good enough sometimes.
That is how we feel. You see, when you allow the
devil to take control over your life, certain things begin to
wind in your mind. He says you are not good enough.
That is, you see why you begin to have these feelings?
You should know that these are the force identities of the
devil. These are the lines of the
devil, that you are not good enough.
No, you are mess up too much. You will never change.
Hallelujah. So these are the force.
These are the force lies of the enemy.
But this morning I want you to know that when you accept Christ
and the identity is being given to you, OK, in order for you to
walk through it, you will see all these things.
But the Bible is saying that when you begin to feel this, you
must know that it is the worst of the enemy.
So but God was tells you that. God tells you the truth, so the
enemy will tell you that you are not good enough, you have messed
up too much, you will never change, but God's Word tells you
the truth. You are forgiven, choosing love,
and secured in Christ. Amen.
Please. Can you please say a very big
Amen to this? So spiritual warfare often
begins in the mind, as I said. So in your mind you begin to
have this things. You must stand firm in your
identity by declaring God's promise.
Amen. So when you begin to have this
thing in your mind, I'm not good enough, I have messed up my own
life has not been forgiven. Begin to repict the devil.
Begin to tell him that you, you are a liar.
I resist you because I have new identity.
That is what you should do as a believer.
Hallelujah. So I am fearfully a wonderful
mate. So the devil will tell when.
When lies gives in, replace them with scripture, for example.
I am worthless. That is why the devil will tell
you you are worthless. But God want me to tell you this
morning that you are fearfully and wonderful mate.
You can say better than that. You can say better than that.
So when society or the world defines you to be W, to be
wordless, the identity that we received through Christ is
saying that we are fearfully and wonderfully made.
Amen. So we must reflect Christ to the
world. As I said earlier on, in order
for you to walk through the identities, you must reflect
Christ. Your life must be seen.
People must see you and say, yes, indeed, this is Christ.
You know, one thing I say to myself is that, look, me, I can
stand in front of my house. I can stand in front of my house
and start preaching the gospel. The people that I live with, I
can speak to them poorly because there is nothing for you to talk
about me. I have not.
I have No Fear in me or no shame in me to tell you the good news
or the gospel of Christ. And that is your identity.
That is the identity you have to carry.
So you must reflect Christ. Your life must reflect Christ
everywhere you find yourself. And when you have this, you'll
be able to walk through the identity that God has given to
you. Resting in God's grace.
So I just want to end this by saying that everything that we
are doing in order for us to walk through our identities, we
must rest in God's grace. So let's say my grace is
sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.
Hallelujah. Second Corinthians chapter 12,
verse 9. So you wouldn't always get it
right, but your identity is not based on your performance.
Listen as a believer, you might not, you might not always get it
right, but your identity is not based on your performance.
It is based on ghost and changing Greece.
So whatever we do, it is not by our we cannot just do it on our
on ourself. It's just true the grace of God
that we'll be able to work through.
So when you fall or when you fail or fall shots, return to
God with humility. Hello fellow believers.
An opportunity is given to us that whenever we fall, we must
return to God with humility, His grace, pick us up, restore us,
and remind us of who we are. Hallelujah.
So my final thought is that you and I, we are.
We are who God says we are. Turn and tell your neighbor, I
am who God says I am. I am who God says I am.
So you are who God says you are in Christ.
I want you to point out your friend and say in Christ.
In Christ you are love. In Christ you are love in
Christ. You are chosen in Christ.
You are forgiven in Christ. You are accepted in Christ.
You are an empowered Hallelujah, and in Christ you have you have
been set apart. You are different from the
ordinary. This morning I want you to
recognize your identity and work through it because you are not
just an ordinary person. Please kindly be on your feet as
you pray. Kindly be on your feet as you
pray. Begin to tell God.
Begin to talk to God. Begin to ask God to rewire your
thinking and to re mode your way of doing things and the inside.
To know your real identity you must know your real identity.
You know your real identity. It is very, very difficult for
you to work with God, but when you don't know your real
identity, it becomes so difficult.
So this one I want you to speak to God.
Tell God to help you know what to go by your true identity.
Begin to speak to God. Father, in the name of Jesus,
you have given us the opportunity to become the
children, Your children. You have given us an identity.
Are you understand? Thank you for reminding us what
we should do and who we are of this Jesus.
We bless your Lord you have created and we pray the Lord
will not be able to walk through the Lord and.
You have told us. This privilege is that you will
not be able to do it without you.
To live by your identity, I've got to help you live to your
identity. The.
This morning the word of God has come unto you.
Do you believe it? If you believe it, confess it.
We are the. In the blood of Jesus.
When he was speaking, he said that your body is a temple of
the Holy Spirit. Do you believe it Coming today?
Coming to stay. Shall you be on your feet?
Just sing it in a prayerful mood.
You are ambassadors of Christ. You believe it.
You are ambassadors of Christ. Do you believe it?
Do you believe it this morning to be like Jesus?
All I ask is to be like Jesus. As ambassadors of Christ, we are
expecting to be like Jesus. To Jesus to be like Jesus eyes
to be. Like Jesus, all I ask is to be
like through all I journey from and to glory, All I ask is to be
like He. To be like Jesus.
To be like Jesus, all I ask is to be like true.
All I turn to glory, all I to me like.
You throughout life journey. From back to glory to me like.
You. Spirit of
Jesus. The beauty of.
Jesus. This morning, as the Word of God
has come unto us, I want you to ponder upon the Word of God.
We've been made to understand, to know our real identity.
Do you know it? Do you believe it?
Do you leave it? This morning, God, through His
Word, is trying to remind us of our real identity.
It could be that some of us have forgotten about our real
identity. It could be that some of us are
not leaving our right identity. It could be that some of us
might have forgotten about ourselves.
But this morning turns me to God that through His way, He's
reminding us of who He has made us.
And even as He's reminding us, do you believe it?
You accept it. Shall we humbly resume our
seats? We invite a brother and a sister
to come and pray. A brother and a sister to come
and pray. Of Jesus we see.
Father, we are so grateful to You for Your word that has come
to us this morning. It is a quick reminder of what
we are and who we are. In You we say your name be
glorified forever and ever and ever.
Thank you for reminding us of who we are.
In you we pray in the name of Jesus that if perhaps due to
some reasons we have lost our identity, we pray that by the
grace that is in the name of Jesus, Father, bring
restoration. We pray that Father let us work
in these identities, because without these identities we are
nobody. We thank You for Your word and
we are grateful. Commit the speaker into your
hands that continue to give him more grace to minister Your Word
powerfully in the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.
Most gracious Lord, we thank You this morning.
We thank you for your word that has come.
Father, Lord, your word makes us understand that when your word
comes, it cleanses. Father, Lord, in any way that we
are falling short of our identity, Father, Lord, as your
word has come, O God Almighty, may you strengthen and help us
in those areas in the name of Jesus.
With our strength, Lord, we will fill.
That is why we have you, Holy Spirit with us.
We pray that may you quicken us once more.
May you quicken us once more, Lord Jesus, that we will be like
you, that we will reflect you in all our endeavors wherever we
go. In the mighty name of Jesus,
Lord, we thank you. Lord, we bless your name.
In Jesus name, Amen. Hallelujah this morning we are
blessed and I want us to stretch forth our hands and bless our
elder order. God bless you and more.
